When science meets sweetness! During our last PIGWEB meeting our brilliant minds took a break from serious discussions to embark on a 'squeal'-worthy challenge: marshmallow pig building! 🐷 From towering masterpieces to... um, abstract interpretations, our #pigweb experts unleashed their creativity in the most delicious way possible. 👩🔬🧑🔬 Who knew pig farming research could be this fun and fluffy? Who do YOU think emerged victorious in our epic marshmallow pig showdown? 🏆Was it a towering masterpiece or a quirky creation?

𝐏𝐢𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐃𝐚𝐲𝐬 🐷 On February 6th and 7th, we were present at the 56th edition of the Pig Research Days, at the Palais du Grand Large in Saint-Malo. This annual French-speaking scientific congress is co-organized by INRAE and IFIP - Institut du porc. 🔬 It brings together more than 400 R&D engineers, zootechnicians, nutritionists, geneticists, veterinarians, economists, French and foreign researchers, journalists, teachers, and students. As every year, Vilofoss France was a sponsor of this event, an unmissable event for pig research. 🐖 #Vilofoss #VilofossFrance #pigresearch #pigfarming
Transforming Research into Reality From theory to practice: How can pork producers apply research in their own farm operations? Dr. Hyatt Frobose of @jyga_technologies provides insight into his research on precision feeding technologies. Click the link in our bio to read the full article 🔗 #Swine #Pork #PigCHAMP #PigResearch
Last month, we installed a complete water supply for the pigs in the experimental barn of Schothorst Feed Research. Not only the feed intake but also the water intake is now digitally visible to the researchers. The water is registered per drinking nipple! In addition, the installation makes it possible to perform tests on the drinking water. Placing Optimus® dosing modules gives the possibility to add 2 different products and compare them with the normal tap water. The third Optimus® is used to clean the pipes again with Aqua-clean®. After the dosing modules, we placed our Optimixx®, which mixes the fluids well and also gives insight into the quality of the drinking water and the degree of contamination in the pipes. Thanks for the cooperation, @vandenakkeraquaservice. See all those valves? The result looks great! #drinkingwaterregistration #drinkingwaterquality #drinkingwatersystem #drinkingwatersupplements #drinkingwateradditives #healthypigs #pigresearch #cleandrinkingwater #healthydrinkingwater #livestockfarming #healthyfarming #antibioticreduction

Pigs are one of the most popular livestock animals in the world, and there are many different breeds to choose from. Each breed has its own unique characteristics, such as its size, color, and temperament.

Sometimes it is important to make a real effort to communicate with animals. Observing how an animal behaves towards us can give us significant clues about what they expect as well. Professor of Poland Institute for Bio-reciprocity is proving that there is a way to communicate with animals, we simply have to accept to be disgusting. I wish you all good meditation on these revelations. ☯️ ☯️ ☯️ #revelation #pigresearch #pigs #ilovepigs #babethepig #pigsofinstagram #pigsarecute #veganism #vegetarian #veggies #vegetarianfood #vegetarianrecipes #choosevegan #iloveveganfood #veganfood #peta #animaldefense #protectanimals #humor

Technology and research are bringing us closer to understanding animal communication. What our dogs or cats are trying to tell us — and what animals are saying to each other. Experts are using the latest technology to learn what an oink, a bark, or even what a dolphin whistle could mean. On the flip side, pet owners are using buttons to teach their dogs and cats to communicate with them. In this episode, we explore what we're learning about what animals have to say and why.

✨MEET JASMINE!✨ Jasmine is completing her Master’s with Renee Bergeron and Dan Tulpan. She is using a machine learning model to try and automatically detect aggression in group housed piglets. 🐷 Aggression is a major problem in the industry so if they can detect it faster and more accurately, they can intervene faster to prevent injuries. DM us a picture and summary of your research to be featured on our page! #gradschool #gradstudent #studentlife #pigresearch #research #pigs #universityofguelph
Happy Friday everyone!☃️ It’s time for another fun fact Friday! Todays fun fact is about pigs!🐖 Did you know that pigs are not to much different from us genetically. They actually use pigs heart valves in humans. Years ago our grandparents sold pigs to the Hershey medical center for research. With this research they want to be able to transplant pig organs into a human, due to the shortage of organs available for transplant from other humans. Hope you learned something new! Have a Good Friday! ☺️ #pigs #pigsinhumanresearch #pigfarmer #funfactfriday #factsaboutpigs #farmer #beeffarming #pork #medicalresearch #pigheart #pigresearch

PEEK-A-BOO! Pigs at the experimental station of the French Pork and Pig Institute. They have a room there to validate climate control systems, equipped with fans and heaters. In France 🇫🇷 this knowledge helps making pig buildings better prepared for hotter summers and colder winters. #pigresearch #France #heatstress #climatecontrol #pigmanagement #pigwelfare #IFIP #pigprogress #worldofpigs #linkinbio
The study involved two Yorkshire pigs named Hamlet and Omelette, and two Panepinto micro pigs, Ebony and Ivory. All four animals were trained to approach and manipulate a joystick with their snouts in front of a computer monitor during the first phase of the experiment. They were then taught how to play a video game in which the goal was to move a cursor using the joystick toward up to four target walls on the screen. Each pig performed the tasks well above chance, indicating the animal understood that the movement of the joystick was connected to the cursor on the computer screen. The fact that these far-sighted animals with no opposable thumbs could succeed at the task is "remarkable," according to the researchers. "It is no small feat for an animal to grasp the concept that the behavior they are performing is having an effect elsewhere. That pigs can do this to any degree should give us pause as to what else they are capable of learning and how such learning may impact them," said lead author Dr. Candace Croney, a professor at Purdue University and director of the Purdue Center for Animal Welfare Science. Sarah T. Boysen, known for her work on chimpanzee cognition, co-authored the study. . . . #drquesten #DRQ #animals #animalcare #animalsupport #animalwelfare #animallove #facts #pigsofinstagram #pigstudy #pigresearch #pignews #petsofinstagram #instadaily #instagood #instalove #potd #instapost #instanews #Instaresearch #instastudy #news #knowledge

Pig Research from April 2020: "Broadcasting human voice to piglets (Sus scrofa domestica) modifies their behavioural reaction to human presence in the home pen and in arena tests" from INRAE in France. * Full paper published in Applied Animal Behaviour Science, Volume 225. * -Visual, tactile, olfactory, and auditory interactions are all essential to forming a bond with a pig. * -Regular speaking to piglets in a calm, low pitched voice can help build a stronger bond with them. * -Broadcasting human voices can help habituate piglets to humans in general. * -More research is needed on the human-pig bond. #pigs #swine #pigresearch #swineaboutit #behavior #behaviorscience #LAB #humananimalbond #appliedanimalbehavior #science #piglets

Recently the 4th international symposium on Streptococcus suis took place at the University of Montreal. WUR researcher Astrid de Greeff (📷 second to the right) shared her knowledge there. She gave a keynote lecture on our research into serotype 9 infections. Thanks to @the_oecd , scientists from all over the world were able to attend the event. During the event and in the evenings, like during this sociable dinner, many new and exciting collaborations were initiated. #WURontheroad #WUR #Symposium #Streptococcussius #Ssuis #BioveterinaryResearch #PigResearch #Veterinarians #Pathogens #AnimalDiseases #Montreal #oecd
